4C would be...a interesting choice. Their animation on the berserk movies are weird to say the least but DMC had nice animation for what little there was. WB being the production company is also a odd choice given that their also funding the LB anime but then again they also were the production company for both ryo ku bu and kami memo cho in the same season so im sure they can give both jojo and LB a good budget. Guess we'll have to wait and see

"Experience" with longer series isn't really a big deal though. BONES never worked on a long series before Fullmetal Alchemist, Satelight and A-1 never worked on a long series before Fairy Tail. If a studio has never done a certain type of production (movie, long series, OVA, etc) it just means that they haven't secured a contract which requires them to make something like that yet. If they get the chance to, they probably won't turn it down because ultimately work is work.

Let's not forget that Studio 4C was also contracted for the new Thundercats series. We don't know if Cartoon Network is going to renew it yet, but clearly Studio 4C is prepared to keep working on it if it does get renewed. So they're certainly open to the idea of doing on-going TV shows if they get the chance.

And we know how bad it was, Studio 4 °C is not a really good studio for a long animated series because they don't have enough talent there right now. They dropped the ball with Thundercats, the Street Fighter IV OVA, and Berserk. Bones always had good animators and they animated a lot of shows of 26 episodes before FMA, Studio 4 °C lacks human resources, even Koji Morimoto is not there anymore.

On the note of the music copyright stuff I do know that Viz's manga release was able to keep most of the references in tact (couple of attack names based of songs got alterted a bit though) so it's possible it may not be as bad as we think.

Yep that;s the same PV as before, but it was a bit cleaner this time. The animation for Sunlight Yellow Overdrive looks good but given how dark the first arc is I'm hoping it won't look as colorful as that the entire time.

Well your kinda right about that but my point was that the atmosphere for Phantom Blood is kinda dark and it's pretty violent (it'll probably be toned down quite a bit for sure, though I'm not don;t how much) so having it look bright and shiny would be kind of offputting.

Interesting staff...neither director seems to have done much so I;m kinda curious as to how it'll turn out on that end. Also not that familar with David productions since they only work of their's I;ve seen is Level E which they co-produced with Pierrot.

My biggest question though would be the episode count. Since MBS seems to be the main broadcaster I;m guessing it;s a late night anime but that seems a bit weird if the eventual goal is to animate everything up to part 8. Guess we'll see how it goes.

Their productions have been pretty decent(and ocasionally, awesome i.e Level E) but they've never done such a long production like Jojo. I'm only assuming that, of course, but it seems likely if they are going to adapt all parts.
